Abstract Simvastatin is poorly bioavailable because it is practically insoluble in water and shows dissolution rate-limited absorption. Solubilizing effects of several β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives such as HPβCD, SBEβCD and DMβCD on simvastatin in aqueous solution were investigated using the phase solubility technique. The solubility diagram of simvastatin with each βCD derivative could be classified as AL-type, indicating soluble complex formation of 1:1 stoichiometry. Among the above βCD derivatives DMβCD was found to be the ideal complexing agent for improving drug solubility. The simvastatin complex with DMβCD was prepared using the co-evaporation method and was then characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and in vitro dissolution. Dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies indicated that the simvastatin/DMβCD complex exhibited an increased dissolution rate, rapid absorption, and improved bioavailability in rats compared to free drug. Maximum plasma concentration (cmax) and the time to reach it (tmax) were 21.86 μg mL−1 and 1.4 h for the drug complex, 8.25 μg mL−1 and 3.0 h for free drug, respectively. Main pharmacokinetic parameters such as tmax, cmax were significantly different (p < 0.01) between the simvastatin complex and free drug. Bioavailability of the simvastatin complex relative to free drug was up to 167.0 %.

Purpose: To investigate experimentally the inclusion of artemether into the cavity of  hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and examine its effect on the solubility and dissolution rate of the drug.Methods: Inclusion complexes of artemether with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin of molar ratios 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 were prepared using the kneading method. Phase solubility analysis and in vitro dissolution studies were utilized in evaluating the influence of inclusion complex formation on the solubility and dissolution rate of the drug. The complexes were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The inclusion complex containing equimolar concentrations of artemether and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was then formulated into tablets via direct compression and  evaluated for various pharmaceutical characteristics including hardness, friability, absolute drug content and comparative in vitro dissolution profiles with some  commercially available brands of artemether.Results: The phase solubility diagram for the formed complexes in water at 37 oC indicated a linear curve soluble complex system (referred to as the AL system), and a stability constant (KC) value of 143 M-1. Evidence consistent with inclusion complex formation was obtained using FT-IR and DSC. The formulated inclusion complex tablets exhibited a higher rate of dissolution than the pure drug and commercial brands, showing 3.9-, 1.8- and 1.6-fold increases, respectively, over a period of 15 min.Conclusion: Inclusion complexation of artemether with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is a promising approach to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of the drug.Keywords: Artemether, 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, Dissolution, Solubility enhancement, Inclusion complex

Roxythromycin/ β-cyclodextrin (Roxy/ β-CD) dispersions were prepared with a view to study the influence of β-CD on the solubility and dissolution rate of this poorly soluble drug. Phase-solubility profile indicated that the solubility of roxythromycin was significantly increased in the presence of β-cyclodextrin and was classified as AL-type, indicating the 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complexes. Physical characterization of the prepared systems was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and IR studies. Solid state characterization of the drug β-CD binary system using XRD, FTIR and DSC revealed distinct loss of drug crystallinity in the formulation, ostensibly accounting for enhancement of dissolution rate.

The content of this investigation was to study the influence of β-cyclodextrin and hydroxy propyl-β-cyclodextrin complexation on enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of isradipine. Based on preliminary phase solubility studies, solid complexes prepared by freeze drying method in 1:1 molar ratio were selected and characterized by DSC for confirmation of complex formation. Prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for drug content, solubility and in vitro dissolution. The physical stability of optimized formulation was studied at refrigerated and room temperature for 2 months. Solid state characterization of optimized complex performed by DSC and XRD studies.  Dissolution rate of isradipine was increased compared with pure drug and more with HP-β-CD inclusion complex than β-CD. DSC and XRD analyzes that drug was in amorphous form, when the drug was incorporated as isradipine β-CD and HP-β-CD inclusion complex. Stability studies resulted in low or no variations in the percentage of complexation efficiency suggesting good stability of molecular complexes. The results conclusively demonstrated that the enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of isradipine by drug-cyclodextrin complexation was achieved.

AbstractPresent work explores the relationship between the composition, dissolution rate, ion release and cytocompatibility of a series of borophosphate glasses. While, the base glass was selected to be 40mol%P2O5-16mol%CaO-24mol%MgO-20mol%Na2O, three B2O3 modified glass compositions were formulated by replacing Na2O with 1, 5 and 10 mol% B2O3. Ion release study was conducted using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The thermal scans of the glasses as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed an increment in the thermal properties with increasing B2O3 content in the glasses. On the other hand, the dissolution rate of the glasses decreased with increasing B2O3 content. To identify the effect of boron ion release on the cytocompatibility properties of the glasses, MG63 cells were cultured on the surface of the glass discs. The in vitro cell culture study suggested that glasses with 5 mol% B2O3 (P40B5) showed better cell proliferation and metabolic activity as compares to the glasses with 10 mol% (P40B10) or with no B2O3 (P40B0). The confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images of live/dead stained MG63 cells attached to the surface of the glasses also revealed that the number of dead cells attached to P40B5 glasses were significantly lower than both P40B0 and P40B10 glasses.

The Stability

In the current study, the effect of poloxamer 188 on the complexation efficiency and dissolution of arbidol hydrochloride (ADL), a broad-spectrum antiviral agent, with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was investigated. Phase solubility studies confirmed a stoichiometry of a 1:1 ratio for both ADL:β-CD and ADL/β-CD with a 1% poloxamer 188 system with an AL type of phase solubility curve. The stability constants (K1:1) calculated from the AL type diagram were 550 M-1 and 2134 M-1 for AD:β-CD and ADL/β-CD with 1% poloxamer 188, respectively. The binary ADL/β-CD and ternary ADL/β-CD with 1% poloxamer 188 complexes were prepared by kneading and a solvent evaporation method and were characterized by aqueous solubility, FTIR, PXRD, DSC and SEM in vitro studies. The solubility (13.1 fold) and release of ADL were markedly improved in kneaded ternary ADL/β-CD with 1% poloxamer 188 (KDB). The binding affinity of ADL and β-CD was confirmed by 1H NMR and 2D ROSEY studies. The ternary complex (KDB) was further subjected for in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats and a significant improvement in the bioavailability (2.17 fold) was observed in comparison with pure ADL. Therefore, it can be concluded that the solubilization and bioavailability of ADL can be remarkably increased by ADL/β-CD complexation in the presence of a third component, poloxamer 188.

 Objective: The objective of this study was to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of paliperidone (PAL) by preparing its nanocrystals using different hydrophilic carriers by antisolvent precipitation technique.Methods: The nanoparticles (NP) were characterized for aqueous solubility, drug content, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, particle size, and in vitro-in vivo analysis.Results: The results showed improved solubility and dissolution rate of NPs when compared to pure drug and physical mixture (PM). Solubility data showed a linear graph giving an indication that there is a gradual increase in the solubility profile of the drug with an increase in concentration of the carriers. At highest concentration, the solubility of NPs with Plasdone S630, Povidone K-25, and PVP K-30 found to be increased by 12 folds, 9 folds and 6 folds, respectively, as compared to pure drug. The release profile of NPs with Plasdone S630 in terms of dissolution efficiency at 60 min (DE60), initial dissolution rate (IDR), amount release in 15 min (Q15 min), and time for 75% release (t75%) shows better results when compared to pure drug, PM, and also NPs with povidone 25 and povidone 30. In vivo study reveals that optimized NPs elicited significant induction of cataleptic behavior which is the indication of antipsychotic agent(s) effect.Conclusion: The process antisolvent precipitation under constant stirring may be a promising method to produce stable PAL NPs with markedly enhanced solubility and dissolution rate due to nanonization with the increased surface area, improved wettability, and reduced diffusion pathway.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to enhance the dissolution pattern of the practically water-insoluble diuretic drug, furosemide through its formulation into liquisolid tablets.Methods: A mathematical model was used to formulate four liquisolid powder systems using polyethylene glycol 400 as a non-volatile water miscible liquid vehicle. The liquid loading factors of the vehicle were used to calculate the optimum quantities of carrier (Avicel PH 102) and coating materials (Aerosil 200) needed to prepare acceptably flowing and compactible powder mixtures and (R) ratio used was 25. The liquisolid tablets were evaluated for weight variation, percent friability, hardness, content uniformity, disintegration time and in vitro drug release profile. Drug and the prepared systems were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies.Results: The enhanced dissolution rate due to the increased wetting properties and the large available surface areas for dissolution were obtained in case of the liquisolid tablets. The selected optimal formulation (F2) of 50% drug concentration released 90% of its content during the first 10 min compared to 65% of DCT. FTIR studies revealed that there was no interaction between drug and polymers. DSC and PXRD indicated conversion of crystalline to amorphous form of furosemide. Conclusion: The dissolution rate of furosemide can be enhanced to a great extent by liquisolid technique.

Abstract Objective To enhance brain bioavailability for intranasally administered Eugenol-encapsulated-chitosan-coated-PCL-Nanoparticles (CS-EUG-PCL-NPs). Methods Chitosan-coated-PCL-Nanoparticles (CS-PCL-NPs) were developed through double emulsification-solvent evaporation technique and further characterized for particle size, zeta potential, size distribution, encapsulation efficiency as well as in vitro drug release. UPLC-PDA method was developed to evaluate brain-drug uptake for optimized CS-EUG-PCL-NPs and to determine it’s pharmacokinetic in rat’s brain as well as plasma. Results Mean particles size (224.5±5.31), polydispersity index (PDI) i. e. (0.216±0.020) and entrapment efficiency (68.13±5.03) was determined for developed NPs. UPLC-PDA-eλ study showed a significantly high mucoadhesive potential of CS-EUG-PCL-NPs and least for conventional and homogenized nanoformulation; elution time for EUG and internal standard (IS) thymoquinone as 3.50 and 3.61 min were observed respectively. Furthermore, intra and inter-assay (%CV) of 0.25–1.57, %accuracy (97.11-99.00%) as well as a linear dynamic range (100.00 ng/mL–2500.0 ng/mL), was observed. Pharmacokinetic studies in Wistar rat brain and plasma exhibited a high AUC0-24 alongwith an amplified Cmax (p**<0.01) as compared to i. v. treated group. Conclusions Intranasal administration of developed CS-coated-EUG-loaded-PCL-NPs enhanced the drug bioavailability in rat brain and thus preparation of Eugenol-NPs may help treat cerebral ischemia effectively. The toxicity studies performed at the end revealed safe nature of optimized nanoformulation.

 Objective: The purpose of the present investigation was to develop a nanosuspension to improve dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of ritonavir.Methods: Extended-release ritonavir loaded nanoparticles were prepared using the polymeric system by nanoprecipitation technique. Further, the effect of Eudragit RL100 (polymeric matrix) and polyvinyl alcohol (surfactant) was investigated on particle size and distribution, drug content, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release from nanosuspension where a strong influence of polymeric contents was observed. Drug-excipient compatibility and amorphous nature of drug in prepared nanoparticles were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray diffraction studies, respectively.Results: Hydrophobic portions of Eudragit RL100 could result in enhanced encapsulation efficiency. However, increase in polymer and surfactant contents lead to enlarged particle size proportionately as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Nanosuspension showed a significant rise in dissolution rate with complete in vitro drug release as well as higher bioavailability in rats compared to the pure drug.Conclusion: The nanoprecipitation technique used in present research could be further explored for the development of different antiretroviral drug carrier therapeutics.
